The Precious Metals.

WASHINGTON February 22.-The re-
port of the Director of the Mint, CON
tanning all the statistics of the produc-
ton of precious metals in the United
States for the year 1886, was transmit
ted to Congress to-day. From the re-
port it appears that the production of
gold during 1856 exceeded that of any
previous year since 1880. and that It
almost equalled the production of that
year. This amounted to $35 900, COO IN
1886, against $31 100000 in 1885. The
production of silver, as nearly as can
be ascertained, was sac, 1876 $50. The
amount of gold bullion imported into
the United States was S17,947,5lS, and
the exports S27, 1862 ,637. The importa-
tons were made almost exclusively
since August last. There was also inn
ported gold coin to the value of $23,-
36l ,663, and gold coin was exported to
the value of $13 800, S63. The total ex-
ported gold bullion and coin was SAL
2Sl, 276, which corresponds almost ex-
actiy with the amount imported into
the United States, so there has been a
slight gain by the movement of gold to
and from the United States during the
year.

BIG CAPTURE OF CRIMINALS.
Two Gangs Of COunterfeiters and Highway
Robbers Run Down and Placed in Jail.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov S.-Gus Willinghurst,
James Igo, and John King, the last Of a noted
gang of desperate criminals and counterfeiters
here were arrested last Friday by United
States detective NJ Ct. Bauer and his assistant,
Thomas j. Porter, policeman Ben Fow and dep
uty United States Marshal Mcdonald. Their
capture was kept secret until yesterday, in Or
der to give the officers time to complete the col
lection Of evidence and prevent the prisoners
finding any loop-hole for escape. For two years
detective Bauer and his men have been shadow
Ing the members of two gangs of counterfeit
coiners who were operating in this
city and vicinity, and their final success
achieved when the three men now in jail
We're taken, for both bands have now been broken
up and thirteen hardened criminals in the
hands of the law. The history of detective
Bauers work in its entirety makes a story as
sensational as any published in the form of
novel. The desperadoes are all Louisville men,
and their deeds of daring guilt have caused an
immense amount of trouble for the police and res
dents of this city, and for those of other places,
TOO, for the counterfeiters by no means confined
themselves to work In one locality. So well
were the counterfeits made that people of every
class and condition were imposed upon. The
operations OF the swindlers were extensive
that the government authorities were forced to
detail the best men in the secret service TO come
here and run down the guilty men. Detective
bouCr was selected 10 IedQ the WOfk. Inc
assistance OF the police was offered by Chief
Whallen. and the most experienced and skillful
men OF the force Wee placed at Mr.. Bauer's dis
posaL Detectives VIM. j. Hirschfeld and Thos.
.. Porter were summoned to aid in ferreting
out the showers of the queer. Mr.. Porter
set on the trail Of one gang, and, under the di-
Iecuon OF Mr. Bauer, went to work to get into
the confidence OF the counterfeiters He played

THE RIO GRANDE BANDITS.
Additional Reports of Murders and Other
Grimes Committed by Desperadoes.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. s.-Sunday night at the San
Pedro ranch, about fifteen miles above Browns
vile, Tex, on the river, Victoriano Ramarez
was called to the door of his house by unknown
parties, and as soon as he struck the Threshold
was stabbed to the heart. He fell back into the
room corpse, and when the occupants rushed
out his assailants had fed. At the Charco and
Condado ranch, a station on the Matamoras s.
Monterey railroad, about half way to Reynos, a
similar trick attempted on Senior Swero
Castillo. He was called out to the gate of his
house by five or six men, who opened fire on
him as he approached. Luckily, he escaped the
first shot and drawing his six shooter, killed
one of the parties in his tracks, wounded an
other and put the party to flight, escaping
hurt amid a storm of bullets which cut his
clothes and pierced his hat.
Alfred Giles a prominent architect of San
Antonio, Tex, gives intelligence of reign of
terror inaugurated in Kinne county, Texas, along
the Rio Grande, some fifty miles above Eagle
Pass Within a radius of 20 miles of Bracket,
which settlement bears the name of Fort Clark,
and which is a large United States post, there
has been established gang of desperadoes, who
number thirty odd men and stop at nothing.
They have stolen cattle and horses, cut fences,
burned ranchmen's dwellings and kidnapped,
mobbed murdered every man not in sympa-
thy with them and whom they could catch. So
redoubtable have been their crimes and so per-
feet their organization that though many of
them are known, few arrests have resulted.
They are entirely too strong for the local
eonstabulary, and though they work principally
at night, have not much fear of daylight.
The country is wild, mountainous and very
difficult of access. They are acquainted with
every foot of it. and easily elude the slack eff
forts for their capture. Several Mexicans of
small possessions have disappeared and their
deaths are charged to the gang. They did so
much stealing during September and Octo
Der that live stock was everywhere
unsafe. They have lately proceeded to heavier
the entire country. John Maurice, ranehman
and determined man, has been active in aid
ing district Judge Kelso and district Attorney
Old in their work against the band. Ten days
ago he was absent from home. That night the
desperadoes went to his ranch, burned his store
house, cut down fifty panels of his fence, burn
cattle. Frank Dingnowitty is also
large stock owner and opposed to thieves. A
few nights ago his dwelling was burned.
